3.1.4.3.7.16 CLUSCTL_CLUSTER_VALIDATE_PRIVATE_PROPERTIES

The CLUSCTL_CLUSTER_VALIDATE_PRIVATE_PROPERTIES cluster control code confirms that the designated property list describing a set of unknown properties, as specified in section 3.1.1.9, for the designated cluster is properly formed.

The unknown properties of a cluster are the part of the cluster's nonvolatile configuration data that is maintained in the cluster state and whose schema is defined by an entity external to the cluster.

The client MUST provide one or more unknown property names and their associated values, by using the format as specified in section 2.2.3.10, in the buffer that is designated by lpInBuffer.

After successful completion of the method, the cluster SHOULD NOT write any data to the buffer that is designated by lpOutBuffer.

The cluster SHOULD accept a CLUSCTL_CLUSTER_VALIDATE_PRIVATE_PROPERTIES cluster control code request if its protocol server state is read-only, and the cluster MUST accept the request for processing if it is in the read/write state, as specified in section 3.1.1.
